[h-e-w] gnuserv misbehavior in Emacs 21

[Uday S. Reddy]

I am running NT Emacs 21.2 on Windows NT.

I have just noticed a strange behavior of gnuserv under this version.
With (gnuserv-start) in the .emacs file, the first time you start an
emacs process, gnuserv starts.  If you now start a second emacs
process, the gnuserv-start in the .emacs file is supposed to exit
without doing anything, since there is already a gnuserv process
running.  But, it does not doing so.  It (or something started by it)
is running in the background, and using up 100% of the CPU.  If I
remove gnuserv-start in the init file, everything is normal.

Downloading the latest version of gnuserv didn't help.

I also have an older Emacs version (20.6) sitting on my machine.  When
I tried it there, this behavior did not happen.  I.E. the second
invocation of gnuserv-start immediately exited.

Has anybody else noticed this behavior?

Cheers,
